Joe Richard Pool (1911-1968)
was a
U.S. Congressman from Texas
who graduated from the
Southern Methodist University School of Law
, was admitted to the Texas bar and started practicing law in Dallas, Texas. During
World War II
he served with the
United States Army
from 1943 to 1945 as a special investigator in the Intelligence section of the Army Air Corps and once the war ended he resumed the practice of law. Pool entered politics as a
Democrat
and was elected a state representative in 1952; he was reelected in 1954 and 1956, serving from 1953 to 1958. Pool was an unsuccessful candidate for U.S. Congressman from the 5th District of Texas in 1958. Pool ran again in 1960, winning the primary, but lost in the general election to Republican incumbent Bruce Alger. However, in the 1960 Congressional reapportionment Texas received an additional
U.S. House seat
, but the districts were not redrawn and an at-large seat was created. He won the Democratic nomination for this seat and was elected to the 88th Congress and was reelected for the next one in 1964. Nevertheless, the
Supreme Court
banned at-large Congressional districts; Texas redrew its districts and Pool opted to run for the 3rd District north of
Dallas
. He was reelected from this district to the 90th Congress in 1966. Joe R. Pool served in Congress from January 3, 1963 until his death from a heart attack in Houston, Texas on July 14, 1968, and is interred in Laurel Land Memorial Park, Dallas, Texas. Lightly toned. Typed notes on front. Otherwise, fine condition.
